Bill > HR3724

This bill aims to restrict immigration and residency options for individuals from Palestinian-administered territories, specifically targeting those who have habitually resided in Judea and Samaria or Gaza, or who hold a Palestinian Authority passport. The bill nullifies a February 2024 presidential memorandum on Deferred Enforced Departure (DED) for certain Palestinians and prohibits using federal funds to provide DED to these individuals. It also amends the Immigration and Nationality Act to make people from these territories ineligible for Temporary Protected Status, asylum, refugee status, and parole into the United States. Furthermore, the bill renders such individuals inadmissible and deportable, meaning they cannot enter the U.S. and can be removed if already present. For those who might have already been granted permanent residency, the bill stipulates that they could have their status rescinded if they commit a crime of violence. The bill appears to be a direct response to the ongoing Israel-Hamas conflict, with its title "No Amnesty for Hamas Sympathizers Act" suggesting a belief that individuals from these territories might have sympathies with Hamas, a designated terrorist organization.
